Brad Stevens named Celtics coach

In an era saturated with leaky sources and social media, the Boston Celtics
dropped a massive in-house surprise on Wednesday night that absolutely
nobody saw coming. A week after letting former coach Doc Rivers move off
to the Los Angeles Clippers,
they’ve hired 36-year old former Butler coach Brad Stevens as just the
13th head coach in the team’s post-Red Auerbach history.

Brad Stevens was lauded
throughout his time at Butler for using analytics and adherence to
underutilized basketball efficiency metrics to turn his mid-market
school into an NCAA power, and he’ll now be tasked with leading the Celtics back to legitimacy as they begin what could be a slow and painful rebuilding plan.
